FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an electronic circuit formed on the circuit board 43. In the figure, 51 is a control section, and this control section 51 receives mode change signals from the mode changeover switch 11, etc. various key manual operation signals from the key manual section 12 and the device main body 1 from the encoder 41.
A pulse signal corresponding to the movement amount of 0, that is, a movement amount detection signal is input. Then, the control section 51 controls the conversion data (key human power data) storage section 52 in response to various key operation signals from the mode changeover switch 11 and the key human power section 12.
, display RAM 53, kana/kanji conversion table 54, candidate kanji storage section 55, text data storage section 56, and thermal head drive circuit 57. Conversion data storage unit 52
is for sequentially storing character and symbol data such as "kana" and "symbol" inputted from the key input unit 12 by operating the character/symbol entry keys 14 and the function keys 15, and stores them in this conversion data storage unit 52. Key human input character symbol data is input to the display character generator 58 and the display RA.
It is displayed on the display section 13 via M53. Kana/8I
When a conversion signal is output from the control section 51 in response to the operation of the kana/kanji conversion key 17 of the key human power section 12, the character conversion table 54 converts the key human power character symbol data stored in the conversion data storage section 52. This is to search for kanji corresponding to the ``kana'' character. At this time, kanji are searched in the order of fixed phrases → compound words → single kanji, and the searched kanji are stored in the candidate kanji storage unit 55, and The data is read out from the section 55 and displayed on the display section 13. Here, if the kanji searched in the kana/lli character conversion table 54 has a plurality of homophones or homophones, the display unit 13
If there are more than the display limit number (for example, 6 characters for the lower line), the next candidate signal is input from the control section 51 by operating the next candidate key 18 of the key human power section 12 to display other undisplayed characters. Candidate kanji for dialects are read out and displayed in sequence. When a selection signal from the control unit 51 is input to the candidate kanji storage unit 55 by operating the kanji selection keys 19a to 19f of the key input unit 12, the selected kanji data is output to the text data storage unit 56. On the other hand, among the key manual data stored in the converted data storage section 52, character symbol data that does not require Kanji conversion is also transferred to and stored in the text data storage section 56. That is, the text data storage unit 56 stores the text information created by the operation of the key human power unit 12 as document character data consisting of kanji converted to kana/kanji, unconverted kana, katakana, symbols, and external characters. .

Character and symbol data of individual characters of the document data stored in the text data storage section 56 are output to the display section 13 via the display character generator 58 and the display RAM 53 for display, and are also used for printing. It is called by the character generator 59 and print control code determination section 60. This print control code determination section 60
Using the edit print signal from the control unit 51 as the enable signal ES, the character and symbol data read from the text data storage unit 56 are controlled by the “→” key 15b or the “←” key 1.
This is to judge whether or not it was caused by the 5c operation.
If it is determined that the printing was caused by the operation of the "→" key 15b, a print start signal is sent to the set terminal S of the 7-rip 70-tub (hereinafter referred to as rF, FJ) 61. If the printing end signal is
.

Each is sent to the reset terminal R of F61.

Output signals from the Q terminals of F and F61 are sent to the control section 51 and the AND circuit 62. The thermal head drive circuit 57 outputs the print mode signal and the print key 20 operation signal from the control unit 51, and when the signal from the terminal Q of F and F61 becomes 1'', the encoder pulse from the encoder 41 is output. Character data is inputted as an enable signal ES via an AND circuit 62 and outputted from a printing character generator 59 in synchronization with this encoder pulse.
Transfer it to and print it. In this case, the thermal head 27
As mentioned above, it is a line type with 48 dots per line, and its printing quality is 24 x 24 dots when full-width, so the upper &! One line is 1724 lines of one character when full-width.

Next, the operation of the printing device having the above configuration will be explained.

First, in order to create a desired document, the user operates the mode changeover switch 11 to designate word processing mode WP. Then, the control section 51 is set to word processing mode WP. Here, the user operates the keypad section 12 of the device main body 10 to sequentially input desired characters, symbols, etc.

When the user inputs the desired document information by operating the start character/symbol key 14 and the function key 15, the input document data is sequentially transferred to the converted data storage section 52 to which the address is specified via the 1llt 11 section 51. Ru. At the same time, the input document data is processed by the display character generator 5.
8 and the display RAM 53, the images are displayed on the display section 13. Then, after inputting the kana of the desired document above, kana/
When the kanji conversion key 17 is operated, kana/il 1 character conversion is also performed in the kana/kanji conversion table 54 in the order of fixed phrases → compound words → single kanji from the beginning of input characters. here,
If the pronunciation of a kana character matches any of the candidate kanji stored in the candidate kanji storage unit 55 in advance, the kana character to be converted is shown on the cursor, and a string of candidate kanji with the same sound is displayed at the bottom of the display. will be displayed.

Here, when the user operates the kanji selection keys 198 to 19f to specify a desired kanji among the homophone candidate kanji, the selection signal is output to the candidate kanji storage section 55, and the kana character to be converted is converted into kanji. At the same time, the next kana character to be converted is indicated on the cursor. In this case, the converted kanji data is transferred to and stored in the document data storage section 56. At this point, the kanji selection process is repeated again in the same manner as above to perform kana/kanji conversion.

Here, when the reading of a kana character that matches a kanji that does not require conversion is shown, the cursor key 16 is operated to indicate the desired kana character, and candidate kanji that match the reading are displayed. On the other hand, when the desired kanji does not exist among the candidate kanji displayed on the display section 13 in the display state of homophone candidate kanji during the above series of kana/kanji conversion, the next candidate key 18 is operated. From the control unit 51 to the candidate kanji storage unit 55
output the next candidate signal. Then, other homophone candidate kanji are displayed in exchange, and if the desired kanji exists among the next candidate kanji, the same kanji selection process as above is repeated again to perform kana/kanji conversion. Further, if the desired kanji is not displayed by the single operation of the next candidate key 18, another homophone candidate kanji is displayed by further operating the next candidate key 18. Here, the kanji selected and designated by the kana/ili character conversion are sequentially transferred from the candidate kanji storage section 55 to the text data storage section 56,
11 Characters, symbols, etc. that do not need to be converted can be stored in the text data storage unit 5 as they are stored in the conversion data storage unit 52 by operating the unchanged (no conversion) key of the function keys 15.
Transferred to 6. By repeating the above character symbol input processing, kana/kanji conversion processing, and kanji selection processing, a desired document is created and stored in the text data storage section 56.

Furthermore, the "→" key 15b and the "r←" key 15c are keys for instructing the start and end of editing printing, respectively, as described above, and the "→" and "←" symbols are displayed by operating these keys. 13, and the key code is inserted as is into the text stored in the text data storage section 56.

Next, an explanation will be given of the operation when printing document data created manually.

It is now assumed that text data as shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the text data storage section 56. Here, the mode selector switch 11 is switched to the print mode PR position. By switching the mode changeover switch 11, the control unit 51 is set to the print mode, the text data storage unit 56 is placed in a reading state, and the thermal head drive circuit 57 is placed in a state where encoder pulses from the encoder 41 are input.

In this state, while operating the edit key 15g of the key manual section 15, as shown in FIG. move it to As the device main body 10 moves, the rubber rows 531 and 32 rotate, and the rotation is transmitted to the gears 37a and 37b in FIG. 2. The encoder disk 38 rotates with the rotation of the llll37b, and the rotation of the encoder disk 38 causes the LED 39 to be exposed to the slits 38a and 38b.

The light sent to the photosensor 40 via ... is intermittent I
llm, and a pulse signal is output from the photosensor 40. The pulse signal output from the photosensor 40 becomes the output of the encoder 41, and is sent to the control section 51 and the thermal head drive circuit 57 as a movement detection signal for the vA base body 10. Further, the rotation of the rubber roller 31 is controlled by a one-way clutch 34 and a gear 35a.
, 35b to the ribbon take-up shaft 36, and roughly to the take-up spool 23b in the ink ribbon cassette 22. This causes the ribbon take-up spool 23b to rotate and wind up the thermal transfer ink ribbon 24 that has been guided from the ribbon pay-out spool 23a through the ribbon loading notch 26.

In this case, the ribbon winding shaft 36 is made of Si! 1 body 1
0, the ink ribbon 24 rotates according to the amount of movement of the apparatus main body 10 to prevent slippage between the recording faA and the ink ribbon 24, and the ink ribbon 24 is rotated by the spring 28.
The recording paper A is lightly pressed against the recording paper A by the thermal head 27 which always exerts downward printing pressure due to b.

On the other hand, the movement amount detection signal output from the photosensor 40 is sent to the control section 51, the AND circuit 62, and the thermal head drive circuit 57 as an output signal of the encoder 41, as described above. Then, the control section 51 performs the editing printing process shown in FIG. 5 in response to the movement amount detection signal from the encoder 41.

In FIG. 6, first, as shown in step AO1, the start address of the text data storage section 56 is specified, and the document data stored there, that is, the "→" code by operating the "→" key 15b, is read out. This document data is output to the print control code determination section 6°. Then step AO2
, the print control code determination section 60 determines whether or not this "→" code exists at that position in accordance with the edit print signal from the llltll section 51. If it is determined that there is no "→" code, the specified address is updated and the process returns to step AO1, but in this case, the first address is set to [→]
Since the code is located, the judgment result is Yes, and F
, after sending the print start signal "1" to the set terminal S of Fe2, the process proceeds to step AO3. In step AO3, the specified address in the text data storage section 56 is updated, and "→
” The text data located next to the code of the key 15b is transferred to the print control code determining section 60. Next step AO4
Then, the print control code determination section 60 determines whether or not this text data has a "←" code by operating the "←" key 15C. Here, the text data is not the "←" code, but the "
Since the character code is "ko", the judgment result is NO, and the process proceeds to step AO5, where the character code for "ko" is inputted from the text data storage section 56 into the printing character generator 5.
9, the data is output as character data to the thermal head drive circuit 57. On the other hand, the thermal head drive circuit 57 drives the thermal head according to the movement amount detection signal from the encoder 41 sent via the AND circuit 62, that is, the document data readout timing by the control section 51, as shown in the subsequent step AO6. 27. By driving the thermal head 27, the document data is thermally transferred onto the recording paper A via the ink ribbon 24. In this case, as the main body 10 moves, ink is removed from the feeding spool 23a of the ink ribbon cassette 22.
The unused portion of the ribbon 24 is sent out, and the used portion after being thermally transferred by the thermal head 27 is sequentially wound onto the take-up spool 23b in the cassette 22.

After completing the printing process for one character in this way, the process returns to step AO3.

In step AO3, the designated address in the text data storage section 56 is updated, and the next character code for "no" is transferred to the print control code determination section 60. Next step A
At O4, the print Ill In code determination unit 60 determines that this text data is not a "←" code, and then proceeds to step A.
Proceeding to O5, the character code of "NO" is output from the text data storage section 56 to the thermal head drive circuit 57 as character data through the printing character generator 59.

On the other hand, the thermal head drive circuit 57 controls the movement from the encoder 41 as shown in the subsequent step AO6.
The thermal head 27 is driven according to the detection signal.

Thereafter, the processes of steps AO3 to AO6 are repeated in the same manner as above, and the character string "The technology used in the device is patent pending." is printed.

Then, when the "←" code is read out by operating the "←" key 15c, this is determined in step AO4, and the process proceeds to step AO1.

In step AO1, the specified address in the text data storage section 56 is updated, the next "parent" character code is read out, and the document data is output to the print control code determination section 60. Next, in step AO2, this “→
” Determine whether or not there is a code. These steps AO1
By repeating the processes from to AO2, the designated addresses in the text data storage section 56 are updated one after another, and printing is omitted until the next [→J code is read out. And “→
” code is read out, the process advances from step AO2 to step AO3, the specified address in the text data storage section 56 is updated, and the “→” code located next to the code of the “→” key 15b is read out.
Printing the character code of 11 JtlD code judgment unit 60
Transfer to. Then step A via step AO4
At O5, the character code of "ma" is output from the text data storage section 56 to the thermal head drive circuit 57 as character data through the printing character generator 59. On the other hand, the thermal head drive circuit 57 drives the thermal head 27 in accordance with the movement detection signal from the encoder 41 in the following step AO6 to execute printing processing.

After that, step AO3 until the "←" code is read.
- Repeat the process from AO6 to execute printing.

As a result, the sentence stored in the sentence data storage section 56 -
The data is sequentially printed on the recording paper A as shown in FIG. 6, with data in the range not specified being deleted by the "→" code and the "←" code.

Note that in the above embodiment, the [→] code and the "←" code are determined from the code of the character data read from the text data storage section 56 to control the start and end of printing, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, the printing start address and printing end address of the text data stored in the text data storage section 56 in advance may be stored in independent memories, and editing printing may be executed according to the addresses stored in this memory. . Examples based on such other configuration examples will be described below.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the electronic circuit, and since some parts have the same configuration as in FIG. 3, the same parts are given the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 7, the control unit 51 includes a text data storage unit address counter 51a, and set terminals S of F and F1a,
Enter the ``→J primary key number'' by operating the ``→'' key 15b into the 1-input terminal W of the print start address storage section 64, and input the ``←'' key into the write terminal W of the print end address storage section 65 of the reset terminal R1 of F and F63. 15C operation sends out the "←" key signal.

Signals from the output terminals Q of F and F1a are sent to the control section 51. The control unit 51 also sends a print start and display signal to the AND circuit 67 via the OR circuit 66, a +1 update signal to the address counter 69 via the OR circuit 68, and a reset signal to the reset terminal R of the address counter 69. , outputs the designated address to the cursor pointing address pointer 70. The AND circuit 67 receives the edit print signal from the control section 51, and its logical output is output to the read terminal R of the print start address storage section 64 and the print end address storage section 65, respectively. The address counter 69 counts the specified address of the text data storage section 56 during editing printing, and the count value is sent to the print start address storage section 64 and the print end address storage section 65. The same address is always designated by the address counter 69 for the print start address storage section 64 and the print end address storage section 65.
4 stores the contents of the cursor instruction address pointer 70 in the print end address storage section 65 by operating the "→" key 15b.
stores the contents of the cursor pointing address pointer 7o by operating the "←" key 15c. The storage contents of the print start address storage section 64 are stored in the Il1wJ section 51, and the storage contents of the print end address storage section 65 are stored in the control section 51 and the coincidence judgment section 7.
1. The coincidence determination section 71 uses the output signal of the AND circuit 72 to which the editing signal and print key operation signal from the control section 51 are input as an enable signal ES, and uses the print end address from the print end address storage section 65 and the control section. If a match is found, a match signal is output to the address counter 69 via the control section 51, delay circuit 73, and OR circuit 68. The delay circuit 73 appropriately delays the match signal from the match determining section 71 and then outputs it to the AND circuit 67 via the OR circuit 66 . Further, the BR mode signal and print key operation signal from the control section 51, and the encoder pulse from the encoder 41 are input to an AND circuit 74. In the AND circuit 74, gate control is performed by the BR mode signal and print key operation signal, The pulse is sent to the thermal head drive circuit 57 as an enable signal ES.

Next, the operation when performing editing printing using the above configuration will be described below.

It is now assumed that the text data storage unit 56 stores text data such as "The patent law and the utility model law are industrial property laws. Designs and trademarks are also included," as shown in FIG. here,
“→” key 15b, “←” key 15C, cursor key 1
By manipulating 6, “Patent Law and Utility Model Law:
Industrial property law. ” ``Designs and trademarks are also subject to industrial property law.'' Specify three printing ranges and print them consecutively.

First, the beginning of the sentence is displayed on the display unit 13, and with the cursor k displayed at the position of the first character "special", specify the starting position of the first printing range as shown in Figure 9 (1). When the user operates the "→" key 15b, the process shown in FIG. 10 is performed in response to the key operation.

In FIG. 10, it is first determined in step 801 whether there is any key force, and then the process proceeds to step 802 where it is determined whether the key force was due to the cursor key 16 or not. The judgment result here is NO, and the next step is step B.
At O3, it is determined whether or not the "→" key 15b was pressed. Since the determination result is Yes, the process proceeds to step 804, where it is determined whether the outputs of the output terminals Q of F and F1a are "O". Here, since F and F1a are still in the initial state and are "0", the determination result is Yes, and the process then proceeds to step BO5. In step BO5, a signal is sent to the write terminal W in response to the "→" key 15b operation in the print start address storage unit 64, and the contents of the cursor display address pointer 70 at that time are set to the start of the 11th print range. The address is stored in the print start address storage section 64 as an address.

Next, the process proceeds to step 806, where R for display is sent from the conversion data storage section 52 to the display character generator 58.
Make the AM53 send out the "→" character, and display the display part 13.
As shown in FIG. 9 (1), the character "→J" is displayed on the character "Special" indicated by the cursor k. Then, in step B07, "→" is also displayed on the set terminals S of F and F1a.
A key 15b operation signal is sent to set F and F1a. The process for this "→" key 15b operation is thus completed, and the process waits again for key input at step BO1.

Next, operate the cursor key 16 to move the cursor k to the "." position, and then operate the "←" key 15c as shown in FIG. 4(2). Based on the key operation signal from the cursor key 16 operation, it is determined in step BO1 of FIG.
If it is determined that this is due to an operation, then in step 1308, the cursor k on the display unit 13 is moved. At the same time, in step BO9, the contents of the cursor display address pointer 70 are updated in accordance with the movement, and later, in step 1301, a new key input is awaited.

The "←" key 15c operated after that is the step 801.
If it is determined that the key was manually operated in step 802, and it is further determined in step BO3 that it was not caused by the cursor key 16 or by the "→" key 15b in step BO3,
Next, the process proceeds to step 810, where it is determined whether or not the key force is due to the "←" key 15c. Here too, the judgment result is N.

If so, the process proceeds to step 811, where key processing is performed according to the operation key, but since the operation key here is the "←" key 15c, the judgment result is Yes.
Next, the process advances to step 812. In step B12, F,
F1a is in the set state, and the signal from output terminal Q is “

If it is determined in step 801 of FIG. 10 that there is a key operation signal from the cursor key 16 operation, and then it is determined in step 802 that the cursor key 16 has been operated, then in step BO8, the display section Move cursor k on 13. At the same time, in step 309, the content of the cursor display address pointer 70 is updated according to the amount of movement, and then, in step BOI, a new key input is awaited.

The "←" key 15C operated after that is step 301.
If it is determined that there is a human key power, the process roughly proceeds from step BO2 to step B10 via step 803, and if it is determined that the key human power is due to the "←" key 15c, the process proceeds to step 812.

In step 812, it is determined that F and F1a are in the set state, and then in step B13, the printing end address storage section 65 stores the hazy terminal W in response to the operation of the "←" key 150.
A signal is sent to the cursor display address pointer 70 at that time to write the contents of the cursor display address pointer 70 into the print end address storage section 65 as the end address of the second print range.

Next, the process proceeds to step 814, where R for display is sent from the conversion data storage unit 52 to the display character generator 5.

Then, the user operates the cursor key 16 again to move the cursor k to the position of the character "ENG", and then operates the "→" key 15b as shown in FIG. 4 (5). cursor key 16
In response to the key operation signal, the process proceeds from step BO1 to step BO2 in FIG. 10 to step 808, and the cursor k on the display section 13 is moved. At the same time, in step BO9, the content of the cursor display address pointer 70 is updated in accordance with the shift tIll, and thereafter, in step BO1, a new key input is waited for.

The "→" key 15b operated after that is the step 801.
When it is determined that the key was manually operated, the process proceeds from step BO2 to step B03, and when it is determined that the "→" key 15b was pressed, the process proceeds to step BO4. When it is determined in step BO4 that the output of the output terminal Q of F, F1a is "0" by the processing in step B15, the process proceeds to step BO5, and the "→" key 15b is pressed to enter the print start address storage section 64. In response to this, a signal is sent to the write terminal W, and the contents of the cursor display address pointer 7o at that time are written into the print start address storage section 64 as the start address of the third print range. Next, the process proceeds to step 806, where data is transferred from the conversion data storage section 52 to the display RAM 5 via the display character generator 58.
3 sends out the "→" character, and the display section 13 displays the 9th character.
As shown in Figure (3), the character ``→'' is displayed on the character ``工'' indicated by the cursor k. After that, in step 307, the "→" key 1 is also applied to the set terminal S of F and F1a.
5b operation signal is sent to set F and F1a. The process for this "→" key 15b operation is thus completed, and the process waits again for key input at step BO1.

After operating the cursor key 16 and moving the cursor k to the symbol ".", as shown in FIG. 4 (6),

It is determined in step BO1 of FIG. 10 that there is a key operation signal from the cursor key 16 operation, and then it is determined in step 1302 that the cursor key 16 has been operated.Subsequently, in step BO8, the display Move cursor k on 13. At the same time, in step 809, the content of the cursor display address pointer 70 is updated according to the amount of movement, and then, in step BOI, a new key input is awaited.

“←” key 15G operated after that is step B01
If it is determined that there is human key power, the program proceeds to step BIO via steps 802 and 803, and if it is determined that the key human power is due to the "←" key 15C, the program then proceeds to step B12.

In step B12, it is determined that F and F1a are in the set state, and then in step B13, the printing end address storage section 65 stores the terminal W in response to the operation of the "←" key 15c.
A signal is sent to the print end address storage section 65 to cause the contents of the cursor display address pointer 70 at that time to be stored as the end address of the 31st print range. Next, the process proceeds to step 314, where data is transferred from the converted data storage section 52 to the display RAM via the display character generator 58.
53 to send out the character "←", and the display unit 13 displays the character "←" superimposed on the symbol "." indicated by the cursor k, as shown in FIG. 9(6). After that, in step B15, the "←" key 150 operation signal is sent to the reset terminals R of F and F1a to reset F and F1a, and in the following step B16, the address counter 69 is updated to "+1" via the OR circuit 68. Set. This completes the processing for this "←" key 15C operation,
Again, in step 801, key personnel are awaited.

Next, the process of editing and printing the text data for which the printing range has been designated as described above will be described. First, the user operates the mode changeover switch 11 to specify print mode PR, and at the same time operates the edit key 15Q. Then, the control unit 5
1 is set to the print mode PR, and the address counter 69 is reset, while the text data storage section 56,
The print start address storage section 64 and the print end address storage section 65 are in a read standby state, and the match determination section 71 is in an input standby state. In this state, the user brings the print head section HA into contact with the recording paper A, and moves the main body 10 of the apparatus in the direction of the arrow X while pressing the print key 20, as shown in FIG. As the device body moves, the rubber roller 30.
31 rotates, and the rotation is transmitted from gear 33 in FIG. 2 to gears 37a and 37b. And this gear 3
The encoder disk 38 rotates with the rotation of 7b,
As the encoder disk 38 rotates, the light sent from the LED 39 to the photosensor 40 via the slits 3Ba, 3sa, and "' is controlled intermittently, and the photosensor 40 outputs a pulse signal.Then, the photosensor 40 outputs a pulse signal. The pulse signal generated by the encoder 41 becomes the output of the encoder 41, and is sent to the thermal head drive circuit 57 via the control unit 51 and the AND circuit 74 as a movement amount detection signal for the apparatus main body 10. The ink is transmitted to the ribbon winding shaft 36 via the gear 34 and gears 35a and 35b.
It is transmitted to the take-up roll 23b in the ribbon cassette 22. This causes the ribbon take-up roll 23b to rotate and wind up the thermal transfer ink ribbon 24 that has been guided from the ribbon delivery roll 23a through the ribbon loading notch 26. In this case, as the apparatus main body 10 moves, the ribbon winding shaft 36 rotates in accordance with the amount of movement of the VI image basic body 10 so as not to cause separation between the recording MA and the ink ribbon 24. Further, the ink ribbon 24 is lightly pressed against the recording paper A by the thermal head 27 which constantly applies downward printing pressure by a spring 28b.

On the other hand, the movement amount detection signal output from the photosensor 40 is sent to the thermal head drive circuit 57 via the control section 51 and the AND circuit 74 as an output signal of the encoder 41, as described above.

Then, the control unit 51 executes the editing printing process shown in FIG. 11 below in response to the movement amount detection signal from the encoder 41.

In FIG. 11, first, as shown in step CO1, an edit print signal and a print start and display signal are inputted from the control section 51 to the AND circuit 67, so that the output signal of the AND circuit 67 is transferred to the print start address storage section 64. The start address of the first designated print range is sent to the read terminal R of the controller 51 and stored in the print start address storage section 64. Transfer settings are made to the text data storage unit address counter 51a. At the same time, as shown in step CO2, the end address of the eleventh print designated range stored in the print end address storage section 65 is read out by the address designation of the address counter 69 and the cursor display address pointer 7o, Transfer is set to . Next, in step 003, the text data storage section 56 is addressed in accordance with the contents of the text data storage section address counter 51a in the llll11 section 51, and the text data stored therein is read out. The text data read from the text data storage section 56 is outputted to the thermal head drive circuit 57 through the print character generator 59 as character data corresponding to the character. The transfer 1) JII detection signal from the encoder 41 is input to the thermal head drive circuit 57 via an AND circuit 74 as an enable signal, and the thermal head 27 is driven in synchronization with this movement amount detection signal. As a result, as shown in step CO4, by driving the thermal head 27, the first text data, that is, the character character "TOKU" is printed by thermal transfer onto the recording paper A via the ink ribbon 24. In this case, as the main body 141 moves, the ink ribbon 24 is moved from the delivery roll 23a of the ink ribbon cassette 22.
The unused portion of the cassette 22 is sent out and the used portion is thermally transferred by the thermal head 27.
- The material is sequentially wound around the roll 23b. Then step CO5
Then, the contents of the text data storage section address counter 51a are sent to the numeral section 71. - In the numeral cutting unit 71, as shown in the subsequent step CO6, the address in the text data storage unit 56 of the text data that has been printed sent from the text data storage unit address counter 51a and the print end address sent from the print end address storage unit 65. A comparison is made to determine if the end address of the 11th designated print range is a match. Here, both addresses are valid, so the judgment result is No.
Next, the process reaches step CO7. In step CO7, the content of the text data storage unit address counter 51a is updated by "+1J", and the process from step CO3 is repeated again in order to print the next text data.

In this way, the processes of steps CO3 to CO7 are repeated, and the contents of the text data storage section 7 dress counter 51a are sequentially changed to "+".
1" while setting the update, read the text data from the address position of the text data storage unit 56 specified by the text data storage unit address counter 51a, and print 1! I will never carry it out. Then, the first
"." is read as the end text data of the specified print range, and after this is printed in step CO4,
If it is determined in step CO5 via step C05 that the address matches the one sent from the print end address storage unit 65, this means that the printing process for the first designated range has been completed, so continue with the first specified range. In order to print the second specified range, the process advances to step CO8 and the OR circuit 6
8, the content of the address counter 69 is updated by 1+1'', and then the process proceeds to step coi.

After updating the contents of the address counter 69 in this way, the processing in steps GO1 to CO7 is performed in the same manner as described above, thereby printing the characters [J], which is the first text data in the second specified range.

Thereafter, the processes of steps CO3 to CO7 are repeated, and the contents of the text data storage unit address counter 51a are sequentially increased by "+1".
'' While setting the update, text data is read from the address position of the text data storage section 56 specified by the text data storage section address counter 51a, and printing is executed continuously. Then, "," is successively outputted from the text data storage unit 56 as the end text data of the second specified print range, and after this is printed in step CO4, the print end address is stored in step QO6 via step C05. If it is determined that it matches the one sent from the section 65, this means that the printing process for the 21st specified range has been completed, so next time, in order to perform the printing process for the third specified range, Proceeding to step CO8, the content of the address counter 69 is updated by "+1" via the OR circuit 68, and then the process proceeds to step CO1.

After further updating the contents of the address counter 69, steps Co1 to CO7 are carried out in the same manner as described above, thereby printing the character "K" which is the first text data in the 31st specified range.

Thereafter, the processes of steps CO3 to CO7 are repeated, and the contents of the text data storage unit address counter 51a are sequentially increased by "+1".
'' While setting the update, text data is read from the address position of the text data storage section 56 specified by the text data storage section address counter 51a, and printing is executed continuously. Then, as the text data at the end of the third specified print range from text data storage 1!1s56, "."
is read out, and after being printed in step CO4, if it is determined that it matches the one sent from the print end address storage unit 65 in step C06 via step CO5, the 31st designated range is selected. Since the printing process has been completed, in order to print the 31st specified range, the process advances to step CO8 and updates the contents of the address counter 69 by "+1" via the OR circuit 68. Then, the process reaches step COI.

As a result of the printing process as shown above, the recording paper A
An editing print as shown in FIG. 12 will be printed on the top.
